Book description
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have
transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have
inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened,
outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and
destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers,
pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and
helped make us who we are. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is recognized as
a major twentieth-century author and was a central figure in the
Bloomsbury group. Her most famous novels include Mrs Dalloway, To the
Lighthouse, The Waves and Orlando. She drowned herself in 1941.
